Mapping real-time air pollution health risk for environmental management: Combining mobile and stationary air pollution monitoring with neural network models.

Journal of environmental management
Air pollution poses health concerns at the global scale. The challenge of managing air pollution is significant because of the many air pollutants, insufficient funds for monitoring and abatement programs, and political and social challenges in defin...

Characterizing air quality data from complex network perspective.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Air quality depends mainly on changes in emission of pollutants and their precursors. Understanding its characteristics is the key to predicting and controlling air quality. In this study, complex networks were built to analyze topological characteri...

Using wavelet-feedforward neural networks to improve air pollution forecasting in urban environments.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
The paper presents the screening of various feedforward neural networks (FANN) and wavelet-feedforward neural networks (WFANN) applied to time series of ground-level ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5 fractions...

Selection of Atmospheric Environmental Monitoring Sites based on Geographic Parameters Extraction of GIS and Fuzzy Matter-Element Analysis.

PloS one
To effectively monitor the atmospheric quality of small-scale areas, it is necessary to optimize the locations of the monitoring sites. This study combined geographic parameters extraction by GIS with fuzzy matter-element analysis. Geographic coordin...

Assessment of ultrafine particles and noise measurements using fuzzy logic and data mining techniques.

The Science of the total environment
This study focuses on correlations between total number concentrations, road traffic emissions and noise levels in an urban area in the southwest of Spain during the winter and summer of 2009. The high temporal correlation between sound pressure leve...

Modelling personal exposure to particulate air pollution: an assessment of time-integrated activity modelling, Monte Carlo simulation & artificial neural network approaches.

International journal of hygiene and environmental health
An experimental assessment of personal exposure to PM10 in 59 office workers was carried out in Dublin, Ireland. 255 samples of 24-h personal exposure were collected in real time over a 28 month period. A series of modelling techniques were subsequen...

Quantifying regional transport contributions to PM-bound trace elements in a southeast coastal island of China: Insights from a machine learning approach.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Identifying and quantifying pollution sources and their associated health risks are essential for formulating effective pollution control policies. This study analyzed PM-bound trace elements based on one year of sampling data collected from a low-PM...

Prenatal exposure to criteria air pollution and traffic-related air toxics and risk of autism spectrum disorder: A population-based cohort study of California births (1990-2018).

Environment international
BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) prevalence has risen steadily in California (CA) over several decades, with environmental factors like air pollution (AP) increasingly implicated. This study investigates associations between prenatal exposu...

Non-traditional socio-environmental and geospatial determinants of Alzheimer's disease-related dementia mortality.

The Science of the total environment
IMPORTANCE: Recent data point to the impact of non-traditional environmental and social factors on Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias (ADRD) mortality. Our study aimed to determine the extent to which antecedent air pollution, social vulnerability...

Revealing the impacts of the built environment factors on pedestrian-weighted air pollutant concentration using automated and interpretable machine learning.

Journal of environmental management
Urban air pollution poses significant health risks, especially to pedestrians due to their proximity to pollutants and lack of physical protection. Understanding the influence of built environment factors is essential to mitigate this pollution and s...
